I noticed that in the context menu of any connection in Azure Data Studio, there is no rename option. Also, you cannot rename the connection in the Dashboard that opens when you click "Manage" in the mentioned above context menu.
Is there any way to rename a connection created in Azure Data Studio?
Dark Templar's answer works. But you can do it inside of Azure Data Studio by adding New Connection. That opens a sidebar on the right where you can select the connection and change the any of the fields down in Connection Details. Seems like you have to press Connect to save it.
Figured out the solution. I'm on Ubuntu, and the file, where the information about connections is stored, is found in:
~/.config/azuredatastudio/User~/settings.json
Just edit the entries located in the "datasource.connections".
On Windows 10 it is under the following path:
C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\azuredatastudio\settings.json

I am trying to remove database connections from the Database Expert of Crystal Reports in VS but the option is grayed out...
I made a lot of connections and now I want to delete them to avoid confusion in My Connections.
Even referred to the following link but it is useless..
Open the .rpt file in Visual Studio, and don't do anything, just open data expert and d, then try to delete the connections by Right Click → Remove Connection, under My Connections, in Database Expert. All connections can be removed, except for those currently used in report.
open windows explorer and navigate to C:\Users\yourusername\Documents\History
make sure you can view hidden files
open each DataSource#.xml file to see which one you want to remove
move that file to a different folder (to test)
close and reopen your crystal reports application (currently 2016) and check if that removed the expected data source
In my VS Professional 2013,I copied and pasted a solution from the source control workspace to my desktop but everytime I open the solution I get these messages:
The mappings for the solution could not be found.
The mappings for the solution could not be found.
The mappings for the solution could not be found.
The mappings for the solution could not be found.
The active solution has been temporarily disconnected from source control because the server is unavailable. To attempt to reconnect to source control, close and then re-open the solution when the server is available. If you want to connect this solution to another server, use the Change Source Control dialog.
How can I completely remove everything related to the TSF from the solution?
I already tried the following suggestions from answers in similar questions:
select the solution in the solution explorer, then go to the File menu. Under the file menu, you'll see a Source Control menu. Under that you'll see Change Source Control.Select this, and in the dialog box that comes up, choose "unbind."
Delete *.vssscc, *.vspscc, files . Open the .sln file with notepad and erase GlobalSection(TeamFoundationVersionControl) ... EndGlobalSection
There is a tool to remove Source Control Bindings from Visual Studio Solutions and Projects from msdn: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/saveenr/archive/2012/08/11/a-tool-to-remove-source-control-bindings-from-visual-studio-solutions-and-projects.aspx
How to use the tool:
•Copy your solution to a new directory (because the tool does modify files)
•Run this command: VSUnbindSourceControl.exe (ex. d:\yourfolder)
I had my solution in Visual Studio 2012 (which is under TFS source control) open and the TFS server (2010) was down. When I then made a change to one of the files and attempted to save it I got a prompt to ask whether I wanted to Overwrite the file saying the TFS server was down (can't remember the exact words) and the following message appeared in the Output window:
This solution is offline. [Team Foundation Server: http://tfs1:8080/tfs/server]
The solution was offline during its previous session and will remain offline.
How do I get the file change to be recognised as being among Pending Changes and the whole solution back online?
I searched for the solution online and found this solution but wasn't too keen on the registry change.
I found a better way: right-click on the solution name right at the top of the Solution Explorer and select the Go Online option. Clicking this allowed me to select the files that had been changed when I was offline and make the solution online again.
After finding the solution, I found the following msdn forum thread which confirmed the above.
Go to File > Source Control > Go Online, select the files you changed, and finish the process.
Rename the solution's corresponding .SUO file. The SUO file contains the TFS status (online/offline), amongst a host of other goodies.
Do this only if the "right-click on the solution name right at the top of the Solution Explorer and select the Go Online option" fails (because e.g. you installed VS2015 preview).
(Additional step from solution above for if you are missing the AutoReconnect or Offline registry value)
For Visual Studio 2015, Version 14
Turn off all VS instances
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\TeamFoundation\Instances{YourServerName}\Collections{TheCollectionName} (To get to this directory on Windows, hit the Windows + R key and search for "regedit")
Set both the Offline and AutoReconnect values to 0.
If you are missing one of those attributes (in my case I was missing AutoReconnect), right click and and create a new DWORD(32-bit) value with the desired missing name, AutoReconnect or Offline.
Again, make sure both values are set to zero.
Restart your solution

blog MSDN - When and how does my solution go offline?
I am using Visual Studio 2017 15.4.0 version. Especially when i started use lightweight solution option, this offline thing happened to me. I tried to above solutions which are:
Tried to regedit option but can not see appropriate menu options. Didn't work.
Right click on solution, there is go online option and
when i choose it that gives this error message: "The solution is
offline because its associated Team Foundation Server is offline.
Unable to determine the workspace for this solution."
Then from File -> Source Control -> Advanced -> Change Source Control. I saw my files. I select them and then chose bind option. That worked for me.
You can go use registry editor.
Turn off all VS instances.
Open registry editor and go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\TeamFoundation\Instances
Find proper server e.g: team32system1
Go to Collection and nex DefaultCollection:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\TeamFoundation\Instances\team32system1\Collections\DefaultCollection
Set Offline key to 0
Open solution in VS. Afterwards pop up should appear which question would you like bring solution to online mode.
Neither of the above solutions worked for me on Visual Studio Community 2017 v15.7.1. Somehow, there was no "Go Online" option in the context menu. I tried registry edit as suggested here, but that only displayed me error that it could not find the binding. What worked for me is rebinding solution to the server from Change Source Control menu.
Go to File->Source Control->Advanced->Change Source Control and make sure that your solution is binded to your source control. If not (like mine) then click on bind button, it will automatically search online TFS server and rebind your solution to it.
i found another way without much effort.
Just simply right click your solution and then click undo pending changes.
Next, VS will ask you for acutally changed file where you want to undo or not specific file.
In this you can click no for such a file where actual change is happende, rest is just undoing. This will not lost your actual changes
You will need to do two steps here for a complete solution
First click on the Solution that you have open and then go File-> Source Control -> Go Online Then uncheck all the files that are being shown as being modified while you were offline.
Don't do the Get Latest version from Source Control Explorer. That will result in a dialog potentially showing a bunch of files asking you to resolve conflicts. Instead do this
In source Control explorer right click on the folder you want to get latest of and then Advanced - Get Specific Version. In the dropdown for version type choose Latest and then choose the first check box that says Overwrite writable files that are not checked out. This will automatically bring your folder in sync with latest on the server
One method I did with mine, is to "Add to Source Control", and select 'Git'.
There must be a way to find out who checked out the file directly in Visual Studio without having to open the VSS client and navigate to the file.
Right?
Add the SourceSafe (Soure Control) toolbar to VS. Select a file in your source tree you want to know who has it checked out and from the toolbar choose the SourceSafe Properties Icon and look at the Check Out Status Tab. :)
When you attempt to check out a file and get the error dialog indicating that the file is already exclusively checked out, if you bring up the output dialog and switch to the source control view you should see a message indicating the user id of the user who has the file checked out.
Occasionally I have a problem when I attempt to update a web reference in Visual Studio 2008 (this also happened in VS2005). It has happened in several different solutions.
When I have a solution with a (.NET 2.0) web service and a project that references the web service I get "There was an error downloading 'http://localhost:3890/MyWebService.asmx' Unable to connect to the remote server.". Obviously, the port number in the example is an example only, it could be any port number.
The web reference is set to 'Dynamic URL' and the web service is using the ASP.NET Development Server web server rather than IIS. When the error occurs the icon for the service never shows up in the system tray.
I have found two workarounds. The more drastic workaround is to delete the web reference and recreate it. This has worked for me everytime, but has caused some confusion for Subversion and AnkhSVN.
Recently it occurred to me to set the web service as the startup project, start it, and mouse over the ASP.NET Development Server icon on the system tray to find out the port number that it has chosen. Then, edit the port number in the WebReferenceUrl property of the web reference. After doing this I can update the web reference.
While this works I feel that there must be a better way. It seems that VS and Cassini should be able to resolve this without manual intervention. Am I missing something, or is this another case of Microsoft getting the difficult things right and the simple basics wrong?
I have attempted to search an answer for this issue and have found several threads describing the problem. But, no one has identified a real solution.
Right-click the service in Solution Explorer, and choose "View in Browser". That will cause the service to start, and you'll be able to use "Add Web Reference".
You can force the port of the test web site in visual studio.
Open the properties window in visual studio it with "F4" or via the toolbar - "View" -> "Properties Window".
Left click on your web site in the "Solution Explorer" window. Notice the drop down list for the "Use dynamic ports" setting. If you set this to "False", you'll then be able to specify a fixed port in the "Port number" field.
Set this to your desired port value.
Launch your web site. You'll see the port used matches the value you specified.
Go to project Properties-> Settings -> [Update the Service Url]
It Works.
Check appconfig file and update the port number accordingly
